This must be your school of thoughts.
I have been to all the Northern States in Nigeria.
The average Northern Nigerian sees the Sultan of Sokoto as the number 1 King 👑 in Nigeria and the most supreme Islamic Leader in Nigeria.
How I wished the Government could by themselves gazette the First class Kings in Nigeria according to their seniority or Irrelevance.
federal government can't.. because Nigeria is a Republic.....all this traditional rulers should be abolish...they create more problem than anything.

The Obong of Calabar is not powerful because of the Calabar festival @Mr poster, the Obong of Calabar is a first Class king. In the early 1800 to 1950, the Obong of Calabar use to be one of the most fearful kings in Africa.

Do your research very well.
No list of top 10 kings in Nigeria has ever removed dein of Agbor.

Correction!
Itsekiri tribe is not of the middle belt region.

No doubt Oni should be number 1 and Alafin 2, Oba of Benin is right on 3rd.


Do you know Awujale? He should definitely be among the 1st 10.

I will actually agree with you that the 2 names you mentioned seem to be the only 2 traditional leaders Governors and Presidents cannot afford to offend.

Every time I think of traditional rulers now, I can't get the picture out of my head of Wike publicly upbraiding a traditional ruler like a baby during a public event with his fellow rulers openly laughing, extremely shameful.

Lol. You still ed this clip. Wike, who kow-towed, while serking their s when he wanted to become a governor, publicly upbraiding them.

The only person powerful there is Oba of Benin because those guys believe strongly in culture and you can't influence whoever goes on that throne. As for the rest, government can just boot them out at anytime. But for Oba of Benin, government will think twice before taking such decision.

Influential is the word you are looking for and not Powerful.

They surely peddles influence. That's all.

Only 3 of them are first class kings in your list

Oba of Benin

Ooni of Ife

Sultan of Sokoto

The rest are second class kings and only have influence within a small domain.

Don't mind the Op.

He doesn't know the difference between Powerful and Influential.

Even the Influence is dwindling by the day.

Royal fathers that have for long become figureheads... People that can barely keep their communities together.

None of them is powerful again.
They are under politicians.
They are only powerful to the extent politics allowed them.
Before now, politicians come to bow before kings and receive blessings from them.
Today, the Kings go to the politicians and wait at the guest lounge waiting for the politicians to have time for them.
They go before the politicians and plead for authority and leave as the politician bless them with brown envelopes.
